The only reason I'm on X is to connect with friends & colleagues in the botanical community. One thing I admire about our community is a shared aversion to bigotry. As such, I cannot support this platform any more. I will be on Bluesky if you need me. @johnjschenk.bsky.social

Did you know that in April 2023, Donrichardsia macroneuron became the first moss species federally listed by the USFWS?

Found in only one small spring in Central Texas, it faces risks from polluted water and likely extremely low genetic diversity

Utah fieldwork with students, can you find them? ⁦@botanistpaige⁩

[John Schenk @johnjschenk]

Just a dude with his plants. Bonus points if you identify them!

@uribe_convers Did you end up with it? To be John Schenk for the day, must have been empowering🤣

Big shout-out to my lab for their stellar performance at #Botany2023. It has been a great privilege watching you all grow as scientists, I couldn't be prouder!

[Dr. Laura Lagomarsino @Lagomarsino_L]

Congratulations to @naomibot for winning the @AmSocPlantTaxon Peter Raven Award! You are so incredibly deserving! #Botany2023

Kate Madison showing dispersal syndromes are being filtered in nearly the same way on gypsum as they are on serpentine! #Botany2023 ⁦@PBIO_OhioU⁩

[Dr. Laura Lagomarsino @Lagomarsino_L]

River weeds can often be found in the wrong part of herbaria because they can look like mosses, liverworts, or even lichens- making documenting ranges of these species an extra challenge for @botAna_Bedoya. #botany2023 #GetYourFeetWet

@ajayibenmi @angelajmcd @AaronListon Yes, too fast!

[John Schenk @johnjschenk]

This guy brought me to my first botany meeting 21 years ago! Difficult to measure the impact people have on your life! #Botany2023 #Botany2002 ⁦@AaronListon⁩

classes = clades. Don't tweet without your glasses kids, especially with autocorrect!

[John Schenk @johnjschenk]

D can the angiosperms353 bait set resolve rapid and recently diverged classes? ⁦@botanistpaige⁩ found it can in Mentzelia. Killed this talk!

[John Schenk @johnjschenk]
